Smart Building + HVAC
Room sensors, HVAC status, energy usage, lighting control, BMS points and dashboard monitoring.
Smart Energy + IoT
Connected training systems for energy, sensors, dashboards and smart applications.
Sedalia now positions smart energy and IoT as one connected learning area: power monitoring, renewable energy, BMS/SCADA, sensors, data acquisition, dashboards and smart decision-making.
Merged learning area
Energy systems become more useful when students can see the data.
Smart energy education is no longer just solar PV or power distribution. IoT education is no longer just a sensor board. The strongest learning experience combines real equipment, live electrical data, sensor values, communication networks and dashboard interpretation.
- Power monitoring, solar PV, smart metering and load analysis.
- IoT sensors for environment, water, building, machine or process data.
- BMS/SCADA dashboards for live status, alarms, trends and reports.
- Practical experiments that connect energy, automation and data analytics.
Typical training concepts
Four connected application areas for multidisciplinary learning.
Industrial IoT + Manufacturing
Sensors, machine status, production monitoring, dashboard reporting and connected automation.
Smart Water + Environment
Flow, level, quality, pump status, remote monitoring and environmental data interpretation.
Smart Agriculture + Monitoring
Field sensors, gateway, wireless data, dashboard display and practical IoT use-case learning.
Architecture
From field equipment to dashboard.
A smart training platform can include physical equipment, sensors, meters, control panels, gateways, network switches, PLC/BMS controllers and a dashboard layer for visualisation.
- Field layer: loads, solar PV, pumps, HVAC, sensors and actuators.
- Control layer: PLC, BMS, I/O modules, gateways and local controls.
- Data layer: energy meters, Modbus, Ethernet and dashboards.
- Learning layer: guided experiments, trend analysis, alarms and reports.
Learning outcomes
Suitable for multidisciplinary engineering and TVET programmes.
⚡
Energy awareness
Students observe how loads, solar PV, metering and control affect energy use.
📡
Connected sensing
Learners connect sensors to gateways, controllers and dashboards.
📊
Data interpretation
Dashboard trends, alarms and reports turn raw values into learning evidence.
🏫
Smart campus thinking
Labs can demonstrate the same concepts used in smart buildings and smart campuses.
